Celebrations Gallery, the art space on the main drag in Pomfret housed in a pretty pink 1885 Queen Anne Victorian, is closing its doors for good on Feb. 15 after almost nine years of showing work by local artists and helping local charities raise money.

Cris Cadiz, one of the six women who run Celebrations, did not go into detail about why they were closing, except to say "There were many factors that contributed to this decision. But we recognize that sometimes it is simply time to move on and open other doors."

(The other women who run Celebrations are Christina Cirillo Schmidt, Amber Guillamette, Jean Barton, Jackie Mahoney and Amy Lusa.)
